If you’re able to contribute, our guest this week recommends donating to_ [Impact Lebanon](https://www.impactlebanon.org). Hashem is joined this week by Zeina El-Dana, founder & CEO of Z7 communications which she founded in 2007. Since then, Z7 has grown to become the premier PR agency for luxury brands in the region. As they’re all set to move into their new offices in the Dubai Design District (aka our hood), Zeina shares how she landed her first client which got her entrepreneurial journey started, her clients’ shift to digital and the key lessons she’s learnt along the way.
